For context, the islamist regime of Iran's oppression isn't and forced dress code isn't just about religion or men oppressing women. Forced hijab is the symbolic Berlin wall of the Iranian regime. If the regime lose the ability to control something as personal and simple as people's ability to choose their own clothes, then slowly or quickly enough all other oppression will likely unravel. That's why these protests in Iran aren't just for women's rights or anti forced hijab, they are anti regime to it's core and are comprised of people from all parts of society.

It is about power. It is not just gender apartheid that the Iranian regime enacts against its own people, it's also a wider picture of cultural apartheid aimed at erasing all Iranian culture in favour of forced islamism. There is a reason Iranians refer to their own regime as their own ISIS. They have routinely tried to destroy non Islamic heritage sites or ban secular ancient Persian traditions like nowruz and Persian religions like Zoroastrianism just to name a few examples or ban ethnic Persian names in schools.

Still, in the name of power, the Iranian islamist regime themselves don't even follow their own rules as most of the regime elite or their families live in the west freely off of stolen Iranian public money while they kill their people at home.

Khomeini's great granddaughter for example has often been photographed in full hijab and "modest" clothing within Iran, and then in miniskirts and dresses where she lives in Toronto. Same goes for many other regime actors of their families. https://iroon.com/irtn/photo/9290/khomeini-s-great-granddaughter/

Khamanei himself has five properties in the UK and the former president Rouhani also has dual citizenship in the UK, despite it being part of the 'evil west' according to themselves. Plenty of regime elite nudes and adultery pics have recently been leaked from the likes of regime elite Beta Namjoo etc. Majid Rasooli is a regime cleric who demands harsh punishments for any Iranian breaking hijab or Islamic rules overall, while he drinks alcohol and parties in turkey and the uae with his wife while they both west shorts and t shirts. The head of the Basij Sisters arm of the morality police was receny photographed in Singapore getting handy with his non-hijab wearing side piece. Dariush Sajjadi a former political advisor to the Iranian regime also lives in Arizona US where he runs a pro regime propaganda network to criticize opponents of the forced hijab and overall regime while his daughter also flouts all of those same rules. There is also the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) which is just a blatant pro regime lobbying group that is somehow allowed to operate freely in the US according to Influence Watch reports like https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/national-iranian-american-council-niac/ .

American exceptionalism at is finest.

Didn't you know a regime that beats children to death in their schools, shoots everyone from children to elderly in the streets, burns political prisoners alive, legalized child execution and pedophilia, tries to burn cultural heritage sites and outlaw secular cultural traditions, imprisons and executes people for not adhering to state imposed religion, is exactly the same as what is going on in the US right now??

They always pull this crap.

The Iranian regime knew damn well that the anti regime protests were going to reach a whole new level today, and they orchestrated this attack to try to take away the news coverage from the protests and to blame the attack on bad actors so they can use it as an excuse to further repress and kill ordinary civilians fighting for freedom.

Too bad, the world doesn't buy your lies anymore.
